As indicated in and enable the production of proper excitation Figure 1, the appliance is preferably disposed on and culmination on the part of the female in or attachedto the male organ of generationfinear coition. the exterior posterior portion of the organ ad- 65 jacent the body 1 of the user, the member 5 being on the upper or dorsal surface of the organ and the organ extending forwardly beyondthe appliance.

The member 5 preferably terminates at the rear end thereof in a vertical wall 8 which lies adjacent to or against the body I of the user. At the forward portion thereof, the member terminates in a relatively thin lip 9 which intimately contacts the male organ 6. n the underside thereof the member is formed arcuately as indicated at ID to provide an intimate fit over the male organ. Suitable means may be provided for attaching the appliance to the male organ so that the appliance will, in effect, form an integral enlargement of the organ. In this instance, these means are shown in the form of relatively thin straps II and I2, the forward strap ll being preferably disposed a short distance rearwardly of the lip 9, and the rear strap l 2 being preferably wider than the forward strap and having an end thereof in line with the wall 8 of the member 5. These straps II and 12 are preferably formed integrally with the member 5 and of substantially the same material so that the straps may be readily stretched to permit the insertion of the male organ and the attachment of the device over the organ as seen in Figure 1 with the appliance on the exterior posterior portion of the organ. If so desired, only the rear strap. I 2 need be provided.

The straps H and I2 are of suflicient elasticity to hold the appliance firmly in position .on the male organ and preferably exert a slight restriction upon,.the dorsal and other veins through which the blood leaves the male organ, without interfering with the arrival of blood to the organ through the deep seated blood vessels. Consequently, the device will aid in maintaining the organ in a congested condition.

The member 5 is'also preferably provided with variations in the contour thereof, these variations in the present instance being in the form of integral longitudinally extending ridges l3 and I4 adjacent the forward portion of the device and laterally extending ridges l5 and I6 adjacent the rear portion of the device. It will be noted that these variations in contour provide a relatively smooth yet more pronounced increase in the lateral taper of the appliance at the points mentioned. Consequently, when the device is in use, these variations in contour provide a gradual but definite lateral expansion of the vagina, thus causing contact between the upper portion of the member 5 and the more sensitive parts of the female genitalia, such as the clitoris. If not desired for all cases, the variations may be eliminated leaving a straight line lateral taper on each side, as is preferably the case with the vertical taper. It will therefore be apparent that regardless of the ignorance or thoughtlessness of the male, the act of coition will be consummated with the proper excitation and culmination on the part of the female. It will also be apparent that the appliance will automatically compensate for substantially any degree of misfit, from a small to even a very gross one, of the respective male 5 and female genitalia, thus removing any cause for embarrassment of the male and eliminating one .of the predominant causes of psychical impotency.

It may be deemed feasible in some cases to 10 mount the appliance on the underside of the male organ or in inverted position with respect to that shown, or attach the device at any other angle, and the provision of a device for such usage is within the contemplation of this invention.

From the foregoing, it will be apparent that I have provided a surgical appliance capable of eliminating certain disorders of the human body resulting from a lack of fulfillment in sexual matters, benefiting materially the general health and well being of the individuals concerned. It is also to be noted that the device, while aiding to some extent the rehabilitation of enfeebled powers, nevertheless is preferably used and in many cases recommended by physicians for all periods of sexual life. In addition, it is apparent that the device is efiicient in use, economical to manufacture, and very durable.

I am aware that many changes may be made and numerous details of construction may be varied through a wide range without departing from the principles of this invention, and I therefore do not purpose limiting the patent granted hereon otherwise than is necessitated by the prior art. I claim as my invention:

1. In an appliance of the character described,

a yieldable member having a concave recess in its lower surface extending longitudinally thereof, spaced yielding straps extending from the lower 40 opposite edges of said concave recesses, said member sloping upwardly from its forward end and having laterally sloping parts at its rear end.

2. In an appliance of the class described, a yielding member having a concave recess in its lower surface adapted for receiving the upper rear portion of the male organ of generation and having spaced yielding straps cooperating with said concave recess to maintain said member on said organ, said member sloping upwardly and laterally from its forward end and being considerably shorter than said organ.

3. In an appliance for the male organ of generation, a resilient member having a concave recess in its lower surface and yielding straps 00- operating with said recess, said member having a relatively steep upward slope from its front to its rear end and a less lateral slope from its front to its rear end and being designed to extend from the rear to a point slightly forward of the medial point of said organ.
